A Marine Remembers

Recalling traumatic events of WWII, (most vicious in human history), over six decades later is difficult to convey the dispiriting aspects thereof to readers now enjoying their pursuit of happiness.

Abstract:
The passage of time dims one's recall of memorable incidents during the broad scope of a worldwide war. The memory of comrades who gave their blood for family and country leaves an indelible image of reminiscence. There was a toll to pay in enduring the shocking viciousness of conflict and it is difficult to try to convey such rigorous and dispiriting aspects to readers who are now enjoying their 'pursuit-of-happiness'. Eventually, the requisites of war gave way to the resumption of peace.
